Time has no emotion, no matter how the scenery changes, it still does not look back, wrapping the world and striding forward.
The interstellar society in the era of war is full of countless turbulence, changing the lives of billions of people in different ways. Some people actively participate in the tide of the times, some people are involuntarily involved in the whirlpool, and some people are determined to mix food, etc. Die, hide in a small building and become one, regardless of spring, summer and autumn and winter.
Parade, independence, rebellion, political strife... The endless chain reactions spread in various star regions. If every outbreak is regarded as a blooming flower, then the universe is full of colorful and colorful flowers.
The source of the storm was the "shining battle" between the three major civilizations and the Transcendent star cluster alliance. After the disappearance of the inextinguishable, the war intensified, gradually transitioning from a proxy war to a regular army participating in the war.
Even if the two sides maintain a tacit understanding of low-intensity battles, the large group battles of higher civilizations are not capable of participating in ordinary forces.
The frontal fronts in the fourth phase of the exploration area have almost become restricted areas, and the war machines of higher civilizations are activated, which is a vast power that is completely different from individual might, as if conquering the starry sky.
In the face of the regular army attack of the three major civilizations, the Transcendent star cluster alliance was gradually unable to do so due to the limited supply line.
In this frenzy of the times, Transcendent A Grade has been able to stand still, living a very comfortable life, developing in a low-key manner, running in with each other, slowly improving the association's interest network, and connecting Transcendent A Grade forces in various industries. Form a huge consortium of interests.
It was hot outside, Han Xiaoquan pretended to be invisible, and announced the retreat early. Except for every Transcendent A Grade regular meeting, he basically stopped going out, and kept soaking in the factory to study the technical treasures of Jess.
The operation of the Black Star Legion is already on the right track. Each department operates on its own and does not require his frequent attention. The Legion uses its own resources and cooperation with various parties to silently expand the branches of each star field, and continue to grow its power. The huge profits have become The cost of researching technology by Han Da technicians is almost inexhaustible, and the banknote ability is more and more powerful.
At his current position, no one dares to provoke him at will, only some guys who are ignorant or speculative, and the Legion can settle it by itself, without bothering Han Xiao.
And many Primes of the Covenant Organization are secluded in An'an, Manison, Sorokin and other guys with grudges are also busy with their affairs, and no one bothers them.
In this harmonious environment, Master Han was finally able to settle down and study the technology behind closed doors for several years.
During the research period, he also won the Stewart Peace Prize once, brushed 1 point of fame, and maintained the popularity of public opinion for a period of time.
The sense of time of higher life forms is different. One second can be subjectively extended many times, or ten days and a half months can be spent in the blink of an eye, so Han Xiao never feels boring in the ocean of knowledge. Be more patient.
The situation in the universe is changing, the days are passing by in the midst of war, and in a blink of an eye, the year 738 of the Xinghai calendar is reached.
…
Central Xinghai, in the territory of the Scarlet Empire, a secret military training base.
All classes were stopped today, and all the students and instructors gathered in the largest square, looking up at the large virtual screen covering the sky.
The screen is divided into dozens of small windows, each of which is a different picture, most of which are monitoring a glowing figure from different distances and angles.
And one of the macroscopic top-down pictures shows a spherical mechanical satellite full of energy loops, with dense chimney-like devices sticking out, part of which is constantly absorbing the ubiquitous dark energy in the universe, and part of it spewing incandescent colors. The plasma energy of the surface, the energy circuit on the surface flickers like breathing, it seems to be some kind of energy circulation and transformation equipment.
If everyone in the square looks at the sky on the other side, they can see several similar satellites floating above the base, and one of them is running, which is the individual in the picture.
This is the supporting facility of the training base. The official name is "High-Energy Living Body Sublimation Device". It is called "Energy Concentration Tower" in the mouth of the students. It has a single purpose and creates a special environment through specific energy conversion and accumulation methods. It is used to assist the natural disaster grade to cross a key step and slightly increase the probability of breaking through the super a grade.
Generally speaking, this kind of device has not been used once for many years, and now it has finally welcomed a qualified user, who is the famous Gaode in the base.
After training in the base for many years, he finally completed the accumulation, the quantitative change reached the qualitative change, and he officially took this step.
All the students and instructors came to watch, holding their breaths, waiting for the new Transcendent A Grade to be born.
In the picture, the glowing figure is placed in the center of the energy vortex created by the installation. The body whale swallows the surrounding energy and pulls out colorful energy flows. .
After an unknown amount of time, the figure seemed to have reached a saturation state, gradually stopped absorbing energy, the brightness of the body decreased, and the energy was locked in the body and no longer released.
The next moment, Gothe opened his eyes, his eyes spurted light, and he took it back after a second.
When he moved, he suddenly turned into a meteor, flew out along the escape channel inside the device, fell from the sky under the eyes of the public, and suspended above the crowd.
"He succeeded!!"
The cheers soared from the square to the sky, and everyone present witnessed the birth of a Transcendent A Grade. At this moment, they were all excited and excited.
At this time, Gothe controlled his body to descend, and as soon as he landed, the base supervisor and the chief instructor greeted him with a wrinkled smile on his face.
"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on stepping into the realm of Transcendent A Grade, you really did not disappoint the empire!"
At first, the two thought that Gothe was expected to break through the Transcendent A Grade within two to eight years. Now Gothe succeeded in four or five years. The promotion process was smoother than expected, and their guesses came true. happy.
Gothe moved his fingers, as if he was familiar with the power after the promotion, and asked casually: "The upper management of the empire should see me, when?"
"Yes, the Fuhrer is already waiting for you."
"Lead the way."
High German is neither salty nor bland.
The students present were driven away by the instructor, Gothe changed his clothes, and came to a high-standard remote communication room with the base supervisor.
Then, the director of the base withdrew by himself, leaving Gothe alone in the room.
Gothe operated the communication device and turned on the remote projection to enter the set channel. The next moment his sight changed, he had come to the office of the head of state, and at a glance he saw Ulan Riel sitting and Clottey standing.
"Congratulations on becoming Super A Grade, the empire is proud of you." Ulan Riel's tone was kind.
"Hello, Your Excellency." Gothe nodded in greeting.
"You've done a great job growing faster than we expected..."
Ulan Riel encouraged him. This is the patriotic education that every direct line Transcendent A Grade must receive, inspiring them to serve the empire.
After talking for a while, Ulan Riel quickly talked about business and said:
"About your authority, treatment, and position, the empire will adjust it as soon as possible. Do you have any thoughts on your own position?"
"My strength is not yet consolidated, and I don't want to hold a position for the time being. In the future... I think my ability is very suitable as an assistant for scientific research. I hope to serve in the Imperial Academy of Sciences."
Gothe smiled half-heartedly.
"Well, the empire will consider your opinion." Ulan Riel nodded.
At this time, Gothe narrowed his eyes and said, "Speaking of which, I'm already a Super A Grade. I wonder if the original plan for the Evolution Cube can be started?"
Hearing this, Ulan Riel made a move.
Many years ago, the top officials of the empire secretly planned a plan, that is, after Gothe stepped into the Transcendent A Grade field, he could use his abilities to analyze the energy composition of the Evolution Cube, so that there was a chance to secretly crack some of the principles of the Evolution Cube. , allowing the empire to acquire technology as insurance.
It’s just that the plan is not as good as change. The development of Black Star Legion has been changing with each passing day in recent years, and the risk cost has become higher and higher. After Black Star became the special security consultant of the three major civilizations, the plan was stranded indefinitely.
Ulan Riel was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head and said: "This plan will not be implemented for the time being. We do not want to have a rift with Black Star at this time, even if the probability is very low."
Gothe narrowed his eyes and asked, "Okay, is my treatment of being baptized by the Evolution Cube still there?"
"Still, if you want, submit an application, we will arrange you to the next fleet, go to Glittering World to find Black Star to accept the baptism of the Evolution Cube."
With that said, Ulan Ruil paused and added: "When you arrive at Glittering World, you can stop by Feen Star and join the Transcendent A Grade Association. The empire needs more direct descendants in the association to help keep an eye on their movements. "
Gothe's eyes flashed, "Okay, I will go."
The two continued to communicate for a while before disconnecting. From beginning to end, Clottey did not speak, like a sculpture.
Released the remote projection, Gothe returned to the room, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He thought on the spot for a while, and was about to push the door out, but at this moment, the personal communicator on his body suddenly rang, and he received an encrypted communication application, which turned out to be sent by Bekorodi.
Gothe got on the line with the hardliners very early. Bekorodi was one of the top executives of the hardliners in the military. After the plan was shelved, the two sides had not been in contact for a long time. He was a little curious about the other party's intentions.
Soon, the communication is connected.
"Gothe?"
"It's me, what's the matter with me?"
"Congratulations on becoming Super A Grade. Remember the original plan. It's business as usual. When you accept the baptism of the Evolution Cube, use your ability to analyze the principle of evolutionary energy." In the encrypted channel, Bekorodi's voice was very vague. .
"Oh? That's not what the head of state said." Gothe was very interested.
Becorodi seemed to have expected it long ago, and lowered his voice: "The Shining Battle will not last long."
This answer seems to be wrong, but Gothe understands the meaning of the other party.
Now everyone in the empire knows that Ulan Riel is about to step down, and this must happen after the end of the war. At that time, the new head of state that has already been determined in the system will take over and complete the transition of supreme power.
Therefore, at the end of his term of office, Ulan Riel's control over the top management declined irresistibly. The identity of the new head of state was strictly kept secret from the outside world, but it was not a secret to those in power at the level of Becorodi.
Although Gothe didn't know the identity of the new head of state, 80% of them can conclude that Bekorodi asked him to continue the plan to analyze the evolutionary cube, and secretly got the advice of the new head of state.
Through this incident, Gothe faintly saw that the next head of state seemed to have a stronger desire to control, no wonder he mixed with the hardliners.
From another perspective, perhaps the new head of state does not want to implement such a risky plan during his term, so he transfers the risk to the end of the predecessor's term.
Gothe narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, then slowly said: "I know, I will find a way."
"Very well, it's up to you."
Becorodi said concisely and hung up the call.
Gothe didn't take this matter to heart at all, his expression seemed to be remembering something, playing with the communicator in his hand, and there were inexplicable emotions in his eyes.
'Black Star, we finally meet again...'
…
A few days later, the Black Star Palace, the private factory of the legion commander.
Han Xiao, who was debugging the machine, suddenly received a report from Philip.
"Master, I have received the list of the Empire's new issue of being baptized by the Evolution Cube."
Han Xiao didn't lift his head, he operated the instrument by himself, and said casually: "Is there anyone worth noting?"
"Wow, wow, there is a new imperial direct line Transcendent A Grade in the list this time, called Gaode Om!"
Han Xiao's movements suddenly stopped.
"Gothe?"
He put down the work at hand, called up the list and glanced at Gothe's basic information, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and the memory immediately came to his mind.
"It seems that I met a few times when I was fighting the Kunde people a few decades ago. I have a little impression. It seemed that I was just an adjutant at the time..."
Strange, this guy turned out to be a super A Grade. There was no such a strong person in the previous life. Could it be my butterfly effect again.
Han Xiao raised the corner of his mouth.
"It's interesting. When this guy arrives, I'll go check what's going on."
Anyway, no matter who the other party is, since this Super A Grade has not appeared in the previous life, it means that this person must have secrets to dig, and maybe he will encounter hidden tasks, and he has no reason to let it go.
